However Detmer would separate his shoulder forcing the Eagles to turn to third string Quarterback A.J. Feeley. Once again the Eagles would not miss a beat winning four straight games with Feeley under center to win the NFC East for the second straight season. Despite dropping their final game against the New York Giants on the road the Eagles would get home field advantage in the NFC with a 12-4 record as Andy Reid was awarded Coach of the Year. Donovan McNabb would return for the playoffs as the Eagles pulled away from the Atlanta Falcons in the 4th Quarter to advance to the NFC Championship for the second straight season with a 20-6 victory. In the NFC Championship against the Buccaneers all the stars seemed lined up for the Eagles with it being the final game at Veteran’s Stadium where they had slaughtered the Bucs in the past two seasons. Early on it seemed as if the Eagles would fly to the Super Bowl as a long kick return set Deuce Staley up for a Touchdwon that gave the Eagles a 7-0 lead less then a minute into the game. However, the Eagles would be roughed up by the Buccaneers defense as Donovan McNabb was hit again as the Bucs took a 17-10 halftime lead. Down 20-10 with time growing short McNabb drove the Eagles deep into Buccaneers territory. However, McNabb would have his pass picked off and returned 95 yards as the Eagles season ended with a heartbreaking 27-10 loss.

2003

After their heartbreaking loss to close out the Vet the Eagles hoped to get a measure of revenge against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Monday Night Opener at Lincoln Financial Field. However the Eagles played sloppy football and were shutout 17-0. A week later the Eagles looked sloppy again in a 31-10 loss at home to the New England Patriots. At the same time the Eagles would find themselves embroiled in a media derived controversy after Rush Limbaugh who was working as a commentator for ESPN called Donovan McNabb overrated. The comments were perceived as a racist attack, by a press hungry for controversy and the Eagles season was in danger of collapsing before it ever began. The Eagles would win their next two games to improve to 2-2, but in truth they still were not playing their best football, as Deuce Staley was struggling to catch up with the offense after holding out most of training camp. Still struggling, the Eagles lost a key division game to the Dallas Cowboys 23-21, and found themselves two games out of first place. Trailing the New York Giants 10-7 late in a game the Eagles were staring 2-4 in the face as their offense was stuck in neutral. However with 1

2004

Hoping to give Donovan McNabb a star receiver to throw to the Eagles landed Terrell Owens in a trade with the San Francisco 49ers. Owens had initially been dealt to the Baltimore Ravens but balked at going to Baltimore and insisted on being traded to the Eagles. The Eagles also bolstered their defense by signing free agent Jevon Kearse while reacquiring Jeremiah Trotter and Hugh Douglas. From the start of the season the Eagles were clearly the class of the NFC as they got off to a 7-0 start. After a loss on the road to the Pittsburgh Steelers the Eagles continued to soar, winning their next 6 games to clinch home field advantage and their fourth straight division title, as McNabb had a career season with 3,875 yards passing and 31 Touchdown passes thanks to Owens who had 1,200 receiving yards and 14 Touchdowns. However on the way to beating the Dallas Cowboys to improve to 13-1 Owens suffered a broken leg and was lost for the next six weeks meaning the earliest he could return was the Super Bowl. Fearing more injuries the Eagles played their stars sparingly in their final two games losing both to finish 13-3. In the playoffs the Eagles continued their winning ways beating the Minnesota Vikings 27-14 as Donovan McNabb passed for 286 yards with two Touchdowns. The win catapulted the Eagles to the NFC Championship Game for the 4th straight year. The was an air of trepidation over Lincoln Financial Field for the NFC Championship Game as the Eagles were hoping the fourth time was the charm after three straight NFC Title game losses. The Eagles would get off to a quick start as they led 14-3 against the Atlanta Falcons early in the 2nd Quarter. However the Falcons would get on the board before halftime as the Eagles led 14-10 at the half. In the second half the Eagles defense turned up the pressure shutting down Falcons Quarterback Michael Vick, holding the Falcons to 103 passing yards

Super Bowl XXXIX

Facing the defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots in Jacksonville the Eagles were clearly the underdog. However their confidence was bolstered as Terrell Owens returned from his injury. Still not 100% Owens played gamely with a team high 122 yards receiving as the Eagles and Patriots traded blows for the first three quarters as the game was tied following each quarter. However, in the 4th Quarter the Pats took control jumping out to a 24-14 lead. Facing desperation Donovan McNabb led the Eagles down the field while feeling fatigued and worn from a game worth of abuse got the Eagles to with in three points with a 13-play 79 yard drive. However the drive took up allot of time and the Eagles when they got the ball back only had 46 seconds to go with no timeouts while starting a drive at their own 4. Desperately trying to get into field goal range McNabb would be picked off with nine seconds left as the Patriots held on for a 24-21 win to capture their thirrd Super Bowl Championship in four years.

2005

Following their loss in Super Bowl XXXIX, the Eagles appeared to have the pieces in place for a return trip, but when Terrell Owens began demanding the Eagles renegotiate his contract and give him a raise

2006

After the Terrell Owens drama, the dust settled on Philadelphia with the Eagles hoping to regain, the top spot in the NFC East. Things started well for the Eagles as they won their season opener on the road against the Houston Texans as Donovan McNabb returned to throw three touchdown passes in a solid 24-10 win. A week later in their home opener the Eagles appeared to be cruising to 2-0 as they held a 24-7 lead in the 4th Quarter against the New York Giants. However, the Giants rallied to force overtime behind 17-unaswered points, as the Eagles defense allowed 371 yards passing to Eli Manning who hit Plaxico Burress on a 31-yard TD pass in overtime to deliver the Giants a 30-24 win. The loss to the Giants would be a mere bump in the world as they would win their next three games, with McNabb topping nearing 300 yards in each game with the Eagles scoring 31 or more, which included 38-24 win over the Dallas Cowboys, in T.O.’s return to Philadelphia. The winning streak would come to an end in New Orleans, as the Eagles lost another last second heartbreaker 27-24 on a Field Goal by John Carney as time expired. A week later the Eagles would suffer even greater heartbreak at the end of the game as were stunned by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-21, as Matt Bryant hit a 62-yard Field Goal as time expired. The Eagles would return home, but their struggles continued as they lost their third straight game to the Jacksonville Jaguars 13-6. The Eagles would improve to 5-4 a week later by taking out their frustrations against the Washington Redskins in a dominant 27-3 win. A week later the Eagles would lose more then a football game as Donovan McNabb suffers a season ending knee injury in a 31-13 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The Eagles would fall below .500 a week later as the Eagles were hammered on the road in a Sunday Night Showdown with the Indianapolis Colts. At 5-6 with Jeff Garcia starting at Quarterback, it would have been easy to give up on the 2006 Eagles. However, Garcia a former Pro Bowler showed he still had magic left as he passed for three touchdowns in a 27-24 comeback win over the Carolina Panthers. The next three games would be even better for Garcia as he led the way in three straight road wins over the Eagles bitter NFC East rival, including a 23-7 win over the Cowboys on Christmas Day that gave the Eagles the gift of first place. The Eagles would close the season with a fifth straight win clinching the division title with a 10-6 record after a 24-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons. In the playoffs the Eagles would face the Giants for the third time, and this time it would be another nail bitter, as the Eagles held a 20-10 lead at the start of the 4th Quarter only to see the Giants rally to tie the game. However, there would be no repeat of the Week 2 disaster, as the Eagles won the game as time expired on 38-yard Field Goal by David Akers. The Eagles would advance to the Divisional Round where they landed in another rematch of a frustrating regular season loss as they faced the New Orleans Saints on the road. The Eagles gave their fans something to cheer about early as Sheldon Brown laid a devastating hit on Reggie Bush. The first half would go back and forth with the Eagles taking a 14-13 halftime lead on a one yard run by Brian Westbrook. The Eagles would extend the lead to 21-13 on a 62-yard run by Brian Westbrook. However, the game would seesaw back with the Saints scoring twice to take a 27-21 lead in to the 4th Quarter. From there it would be a struggle for the Eagles who cut the lead to 27-24, but could not get any closer, as time ran out on the Eagles miracle late season run. After the season, in a move that stunned their fans, the Eagles would not re-sign Jeff Garcia, allowing him to sign a free agent deal with the Buccaneers.

2007

The Philadelphia Eagles celebrated their 75th Anniversary as Donovan McNabb returned from a knee injury. Also glad to be back on the field was Coach Andy Reid who had to deal with a public agony with two sons heading to jail for dealing drugs. In the season opener, the Eagles would lose a frustrating heartbreaker as the Mason Crosby hit a 42-yard field goal in the final season to lift the Green Bay Packers to a 16-13 win. A week later in their home opener it was more frustration as McNabb struggled in a 20-12 loss to the Washington Redskins. Changing their colors meant changing their luck in Week 3 as the Eagles wore a blue and yellow uniform to honor the early Eagles teams of the 1930s. McNabb would have a stellar game with 381 yards passing and four touchdowns, as WR Kevin Curtis had a career day with 221 yards and three TDs. However, a week later in Primetime the Eagles and McNabb took a step backward, as an immobile McNabb was sacked a record 12 times in a 16-13 loss to the New York Giants. After the bye week, McNabb and the Eagles returned to the Meadowlands and faired much better as they beat the New York Jets 16-9. However, inconsistency continued to hamper the Eagles as they lost two of their next three games. The Eagles would avenge their Week 2 loss to the Redskins, and beat the hapless Miami Dolphins to get back to .500, but lost Donovan McNabb again to injury as they faced the unbeaten New England Patriots. Despite having a pass intercepted and returned 40 yards for a Touchdown by Asante Samuel back A.J. Feeley had a good showing for himself as the Eagles gave the Patriots all they could handle leading into the fourth quarter. However, the Pats would surge ahead 31-28, as Samuel intercepted Feeley again to clinch victory. The loss would be the first of three in a row for the Eagles, who playoff hopes faded fast. McNabb would return and the Eagles would finish the season strong beating the Dallas Cowboys on the road, and playing spoiler to the New Orleans Saints who bounced them from the playoffs one year earlier, as they ended the year at 8-8, but finished in last place, as the other three NFC East teams made the playoffs.

2008

After failing to make the playoffs the Eagles entered the season with questions about the future as some questioned weather Donovan McNabb would remain the Eagles Quarterback and Andy Reid would remain the Eagles coach, especially coming off a trying season that saw two sons end up in prison. They would start the season off on the right foot, as they ripped up a poor St. Louis Rams team 38-3, as McNabb passed for 361 yards with three touchdowns. After losing a Monday Night shootout against the Cowboys in Dallas, the Eagles won the battle of Pennsylvania, beating the Pittsburgh Steelers at home 15-6. However, McNabb would struggle the next two weeks as they lost two straight. The Eagles would recover to win their next three games, as they entered a Sunday Night showdown with the New York Giants at Lincoln Financial Field. The Giants seemingly controlled the game all night, but the Eagles hung tough, before losing 36-31, as Running Back Brian Westrbook was tackled on fourth and one with the ball on their own 45 with 1

2009

After a strong finish led to the NFC Championship Game, the Eagles looked to go even further as they began the season with a solid 38-10 win over the Carolina Panthers. The game would see QB Donovan McNabb go down in the 3rd Quarter with a cracked rib. McNabb would miss the next two games, allowing Kevin Kolb a chance to start, while another former All-Pro Quarterback was on the Eagles horizon. During the off-season the Eagles signed Michael Vick, who was returning to the NFL after serving a 23 month federal prison sentence for his involvement in an illegal dog fighting ring. When McNabb was hurt Vick was still unavailable as he was required to serve a suspension by Commissioner Roger Goodell. The Eagles would split two games without McNabb, when he came back after the bye week, Vick was on the sideline running the wildcat and coming in as a change of pace back. Since he had not played for three years it was clear, that Michael Vick was rusty as he lacked the breakaway speed, and was not sharp on his passing plays early in the season. Despite Vick being a nonfactor the Eagles played well, winning three of their next four games as they got off to a 5-2 start, which was capped with a dominant 40-17 win over the New York Giants. With a chance to take control of the NFC East, the Eagles faced the Dallas Cowboys at home in a Sunday Night showdown. However, with the Eagles leading 13-10 in the 4th Quarter Cowboys QB Tony Romo connected with Miles Austin on a 49 yard TD pass. The Cowboys would go on to win the game 20-16. A week later the Eagles would struggle again losing to the San Diego Chargers 31-23. On Sunday Night again the Eagles looking to get back on track jumped out to an early 10-0 lead over the Chicago Bears on the road. However, the Bears clawed their way back and held a 20-17 lead in the 4th Quarter. The Eagles defense would keep them in the game, as LeSean McCoy’s 10 yard run with 5

2010

With the departure of Donovan McNabb, the Eagles turned to Kevin Kolb as their Quarterback of the future. However, in the season opener at Lincoln Financial Field Kolb would be forced to the sideline early as he suffered a concussion in the first half. Kolb’s injury allowed Michael Vick a chance to show what he could do as he nearly led the Eagles to a comeback win over the Green Bay Packers. However, they would fall just short losing 27-20 in a hard hitting game, that left both teams battered. Vick would get the start in Week 2 and lead the Eagles to a 35-32 win over the Detroit Lions, as DeSean Jackson had 135 receiving yards with a 45 yard TD reception in the 1st Quarter. Vick and Jackson continued to click in Week 3, as the Eagles beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 28-3. Coming home, the Eagles would suffer a setback as they lost the Washington Redskins 17-12, as Michael Vick was forced to the sideline with a ribcage injury. With Kevin Kolb back in the starting job the Eagles would win again on the road edging the San Francisco 49ers 27-24, before hosting the Atlanta Falcons. Early on it was the DeSean Jackson show as he scored on a 31 yard run, and a 34 yard catch to give the Eagles an early 14-0 lead. The Eagles would go on to win the game 31-17. The Eagles looked to be in good shape on the road a week later, as they held a 19-10 lead in the 4th Quarter against the Tennessee Titans. However, an 80 yard TD pass from Kerry Collins to Kenny Britt suddenly put the Eagles on their heels, as the Titans scored 27 unanswered points to win the game 37-19. After going into the bye week with a record of 4-3 the Eagles welcomed back Michael Vick who was named the Eagles starting Quarterback for the rest of the year. Over the next six weeks, Michael Vick would put up MVP numbers, as the Eagles won five of their next six games starting with a solid 26-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts. A week later on Monday Night, Vick would pass for 333 yards with four Touchdown passes, and rush for 80 yards with two TD runs, as the Eagles crushed the Redskins 59-28 in Washington. The Eagles would shine in primetime the following week, as Vick led the Eagles to a 27-17 win over the New York Giants. Even in a 31-26 road loss to the Chicago Bears, Michael Vick played well, passing for 333 yards. Following the loss to the Bears, the Eagles won close games against the Houston Texans and Dallas Cowboys to enter a showdown the Giants at the Meadowlands with the NFC East on the line. During the streak the Eagles defense suddenly became a question mark as they were giving up big numbers, despite the wins. This looked like it would catch up to them as the Giants jumped out to a 24-3 halftime lead. After the Eagles cut the deficit to 24-10 in the 3rd Quarter, things began to look bleak in the 4th Quarter as the Giants took a 31-10 lead with 8

2010 NFL Playoffs

Facing the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card round, the Eagles down early as the Packers jumped out to a 14-0 lead on two Touchdown passes from Aaron Rodgers. The Eagles would get on the board at the end of the first half as David Akers hit a 29 yard Field Goal. The Eagles would continue the momentum in the 3rd Quarter as Michael Vick connected with Jason Avant on a 24 yard TD pass. However, the Packers would answer back and take a 21-10 lead into the 4th Quarter. The Eagles would not give up as they cut the lead to 21-16 on a Vick 1 yard TD plunge with 4

2011

As the season began there was excitement all throughout Philadelphia, as the Eagles came out of the lockout aggressively, signing Free Agent CB Nnamdi Asomugha, who had been ranked among the best Defensive Backs in the league. They also picked up Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a 2012 second-round draft selection from the Arizona Cardinals in a trade for Quarterback Kevin Kolb. At the same time they signed Vince Young to back up Michael Vick. Young expressed the excitement in words labeling the Eagles to be “A Dream Team”. The Eagles would begin the season with a road win, as they beat the St. Louis Rams 31-13. Highlighting the win was a 56 yard fumble return for a touchdown by Jaqua Parker and a 49 yard Touchdown run by LeSean McCoy. In Week 2 the Eagles scored three touchdowns in the third quarter to take a 31-21 lead against the Atlanta Falcons. However, the Falcons fought back and won the game 35-31 on a TD run by Michael Turner. The Eagles would suffer another letdown in their home opener, as they lost to the New York Giants 29-16, as their all-star secondary allowed four touchdowns to Eli Manning. The Eagles appeared to be getting back on track as they held a 23-3 lead over the San Francisco 49ers, in the third quarter. However, the 49ers would close the game with 21 unanswered points to win the game 24-23. The following week the Eagles frustrations would continue as they lost a fourth straight game to the Buffalo Bills 31-24, as Michael Vick had four interceptions, including one run back 31 yards by Nick Barnett for a touchdown. The Eagles finally got back in the win column in Week 6, as they beat the Washington Redskins on the road 20-13, as Kurt Coleman picked off Rex Grossman three times, while Nate Allen added another. After the bye week, the Eagles came out and played one of their best games of the season as the crushed the Dallas Cowboys 34-7, on Sunday Night Football to earn their first home win of the season. Leading the way was QB Michael Vick who had a flawless game with 279 yards passing and two touchdowns, while LeSean McCoy rushed for 185 yards and two touchdowns. However, a week later on Monday Night Football the Eagles with a chance to get back to .500 suffered another letdown losing a back and forth battle with the Chicago Bears 30-24, as they allowed 13 unanswered points after taking a 24-17 lead late in the third quarter on a run by McCoy. Facing the Arizona Cardinals a week later, the Eagles would fall again as Michael Vick got beat up and threw two interceptions as the Cardinals won the game 21-17 on a late touchdown pass by John Skelton to Early Doucet. With Vince Young starting for an injured Michael Vick, the Eagles earned a hard fought 17-10 win over the Giants at the Meadowlands on Sunday Night Football. The Eagles got the win, despite three interceptions by Young, as their defense rose to the occasion and shut down the Giants offense, winning the game on an eight yard touchdown pass from Vince Young to Riley Cooper in the fourth quarter. Vince Young would play better the following week at home passing for 400 yards. However, it was not enough as the Eagles playoff hopes continued to fade with a 38-20 loss to the New England Patriots. Faced with a cross country trip to Seattle just four nights later, the Eagles playoff hopes were ended by a an ugly 31-14 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday Night Football. Before the season Vince Young had called the Eagles a dream team, but the dream turned into a nightmare as Young was picked off four times, including one that was run back 77 yards for a touchdown by David Hawthorne. After missing three games, Michael Vick returned to lead the Eagles to a 26-10 road win over the Miami Dolphins, a week later the Eagles returned home to a chorus of boos and hammered the New York Jets 45-19, but it was not enough to save their season. The Eagles would go on to win meaningless games against the Cowboys and Redskins, to finish the season with four straight wins. However, at 8-8 the season might as well been 0-16 for Eagles fans who had Super Bowl dreams. Despite fans calling for the firing of Andy Reid, the longtime Eagles coach kept his job. Though one bright spot was a 5-1 record inside the NFC East, that included sweeps of the Cowboys and Redskins.

2012

After the disappointing 2011 season, the Eagles looked to rebound, while hoping they could stay away from the injuries that became problematic the previous season. Facing the Cleveland Browns in the season opener on the road, the Eagles defense put up a strong effort intercepting rookie Quarterback Brandon Weeden four times. However, Michael Vick also had four interceptions as the Browns took a 16-10 lead in the 4th Quarter as D’Qwell Jackson returned an interception 27 yards for a Touchdown. Vick and the Eagle would recover as he connected with Clay Harbor on a four yard score with 1

2013

For the first time in 14 years, the Eagles had a new coach, as Chip Kelly replaced Andy Reid. Kelly had led one of the most exciting offenses in the NCAA at Oregon, but there was doubt if his schemes which include picture cards to quickly call plays could translate into the NFL. Opening the season on Monday Night Football the Eagles started quickly moving the ball at will against the Washington Redskins, Despite a costly fumble from Michael Vick that led to a 75 yard Touchdown return, the Eagles went into halftime with a 26-7 lead. The Eagles would expand the lead in the 3rd Quarter with a 25 yard TD run by LaSean McCoy. The Redskins, dominated all game would make a late charge and make the score close, but the Eagles went home with a 33-27 win. The Eagles offense continued to look strong in their home opener, as Michael Vick passed for 428 yards and rushed for another 34 yards. However, the Eagles would lose a shootout with the San Diego Chargers 33-30. Four days later the Eagles would give a decidedly mixed reaction to Andy Reid who returned to Lincoln Financial Field as coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs quickly got a lead, as Eric Berry returned a Michael Vick pass 38 yards for a touchdown. Reid’s Chiefs were able to slowdown Chip Kelly’s offense as the Chiefs won 26-16. Against the Denver Broncos on the road, the Eagles managed to keep the score close for the first 30 minutes. However, after trailing 21-13 tie at the half, the Broncos rolled to three unanswered scores in the 3rd Quarter and never looked back, winning the game 52-20. After three straight losses, the Eagles got off to a fast start against the New York Giants leading 19-7 at the half. However, after hamstring injury to Michael Vick the Giants rallied to take a 21-19 lead late in the 3rd Quarter. The Eagles would quickly regain the lead with a 41 yard Field Goal by Alex Henery, as Nick Foles had two TD passes in the 4th Quarter to lead the way for a 36-19 win. The Eagles would get back to .500 a week later with a 31-20 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as Nick Foles started and had 296 yards, with three touchdown passes. Foles would not do as well the following week, completing just 11 of 29 passes for 80-yards before being forced to the sideline with a concussion, as the Eagles continued to struggle at home, losing to the Dallas Cowboys 17-3. Michael Vick would return and again injure his hamstring as the Eagles lost a tenth straight game at home to the Giants 15-7, as the Eagles lone score was the result of a bad snap over the head of the Giants punter. At 3-5 the Eagles traveled to Oakland, with Nick Foles getting the start against the Raiders. Nick Foles and the Eagles offense would suddenly find its groove as Foles tied a single game NFL record with seven touchdown passes, while passing for 406 yards to earn the starter’s role the rest of the season. The Eagles had big games all around, as DeSean Jackson had five catches for 150 yards and a TD, while Riley Cooper five catches for 139 yards with three touchdowns. The game was also redemption for Cooper who was caught in an ugly off field scandal in which he directed a racial slur at a security guard. Foles would have another big game the following week, passing for 228 yards with three touchdowns. The emergence of Nick Foles, helped open up lanes for LaSean McCoy, who began a big second half with 155 yards rushing. Foles would follow that up with 298 yards against the Redskins, as the Eagles won at the Linc for the first time in over a year 24-16, with McCoy rushing for 77 yards with two scores. Going into the bye week with three straight wins and a 6-5 record there was some worry the Eagles would see their momentum blunted. However, Nick Foles and the Eagles continued their strong second half, beating the Arizona Cardinals 24-21. It would be a winter wonderland in South Philly the following week as a blinding snowstorm covered the field making it nearly impossible for both sides to get a foothold. The Lions would lead early 14-0, as kicking was nearly impossible leading both teams to go for two after nearly every score. However, LaSean McCoy would take the game over, plowing through the snow and the Lions for 217 yards on 29 carries and two touchdowns as the Eagles rallied to win the game 34-20, with McCoy having touchdown runs of 40 and 57 yards as part of a 28 point 4th Quarter. The Eagles five game winning streak would end with a 48-31 shootout loss on the road against the Minnesota Vikings. However, it would be a mere bump in the road, as the Eagles demolished the Chicago Bears 54-11, with Nick Foles passing for 230 yards and LaSean MCoy rushing for 133 yards. The game would help catapulted McCoy to the rushing title with 1,607 yards, bit more important it gave the Eagles a shot at winning the NFC East. The Eagles would finish the season in Dallas, with the game plan being simple a win meant a home playoff game and a loss meant the season was over. Nick Foles was sharp early with two touchdowns in the 2nd Quarter, helping the Eagles build a 17-10 halftime lead. However, the Eagles offense sputtered in the second half, as the Cowboys cut the lead to one with two Field Goals. The Eagles, finally got back on track with a Bryce Brown TD score, but the Cowboys answered back and needed just a two point conversion to even the score, but the Eagles managed to turn it away. Leading 24-22, with under two minutes left the Eagles would need one more stop to win the NFC East and got it as Brandon Boykin picked off Kyle Orton at the Cowboys 40 yard line.

2013 Playoffs

Facing the New Orleans Saints in the Wild Card round, the Eagles saw an early scoring opportunity go by the board, as Alex Henery missed a 48-yard field goal 34 seconds into the second quarter. The Eagles would finally get on the board late in the 2nd Quarter, as Nick Foles completed a ten yard touchdown pass to Riley Cooper as the Saints managed just two Shayne Graham Field Goals. However, in the 3rd Quarter, the Eagles took two body blows from the Saints who surged to a 20-7 lead with two touchdowns. The Eagles would answer with LaSean McCoy TD run, as the game ticked back and forth. The two teams would trade field goals early in the fourth quarter, before the Eagles regained the lead at 24-23 on a pass from Foles to Zach Ertz with 3

2014

After winning the NFC East, the Philadelphia Eagles with their Oregon style fast paced offense looked to go even further as they began the season at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Eagles would struggle at the start, as Nick Foles was picked off in the end zone and had two fumbles. Down 17-0 at halftime, the Eagles came to life with a 49 yard touchdown run by Darren Sproles. The Eagles would score 34 unanswered points in the second half, highlighted by a 68 yard pass from Folk to Jeremy Maclin. The Eagles again got off to a slow start in Week 2 facing the Indianapolis Colts in a Monday Night road game. Down 17-6 at the half, the Eagles rallied to even the score 20-20 on touchdown runs by Sproles and LeSean McCoy. Each side would score a touchdown in the fourth quarter as Malcolm Jenkins kept the Eagles in the game with an interception at the Philadelphia 16 yard line. The Eagles would get the ball in the last two minutes and drove the field to set up Cody Parkey for a 36 yard Field Goal to win the game 30-27 as time expired. Returning home the big play was the weapon for the Eagles, as they won a shootout against the Washington Redskins 37-34. The game was highlighted by a 102 yard kick return from Chris Polk, while former Eagle DeSean Jackson had an 80 yard touchdown reception. In the end it would Parkey with another clutch kick, nailing a 51 yarder in the fourth quarter. On the road, the Eagles looked to be in good shape to start 4-0 as the led the San Francisco 49ers 21-10 in the second quarter, following a pick six from Malcolm Jenkins and a punt return by Darren Sproles. However, Nick Foles and the Eagles struggled most of the afternoon as the Niners rallied to win the game 26-21. Returning home the Eagles dominated the St. Louis Rams from the start, as Chris Maragos blocked a punt for a touchdown in the game’s first minute. With the Eagles holding a 34-7 lead late in the third quarter the Rams attempted a furious comeback, and came within one score of winning the game. The Eagles would finally clinch the 34-28 win as Austin Davis fourth down pass at midfield felling incomplete. Through their 4-1 start the Eagles offense was good as advertised but their defense was a concern. Facing the New York Giants in a Sunday Night game at the Linc, the Eagles defense silenced many of their critics, with a 27-0 blanking of the Giants in their blackout game. Not all news was good for the Eagles as they lost Darren Sproles to a sprained knee. Returning from the bye week, the Eagles found themselves in another back and forth thriller against the Arizona Cardinals. The Eagles held a 20-17 lead with just under two minutes left when Cody Parkey hit a chip shot, after they were turned aside at the goal line. The Cardinals however would answer with their second long pass of the half as John Brown caught a Carson Palmer pass for a 75 yard score to give the Cards a 24-20 lead. The Eagles would attempt to answer and drove down to the 19 yard line. On the last play of the game Nick Foles tossed a pass into the end zone where it was caught by Jordan Matthews, who was not able to stay in bounds, allowing Arizona to hold on for the win. A week late in Houston the Eagles would lose their quarterback, when Nick Foles suffered a broken collar bone. However, Mark Sanchez came to the rescue throwing for 202 yards with two touchdowns as the Eagles beat the Texans 31-21. Sanchez would get his first start with the Eagles on Monday Night against the Carolina Panthers and was strong again passing for 322 yards with a pair of touchdowns, as Darren Sproles had a 65 yard punt return to lead the way in a 45-21 win at home. Sanchez would again top 300 yards the following week, but the Eagles were no match for the high powered Green Bay Packers, losing 53-20 to fall to 7-3. The Eagles started Week 12 at home with a bang as Josh Huff returned the opening kickoff 107 yards for a touchdown and cruised to a 43-24 win over the Tennessee Titans. Four days later the Eagles would face the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving. The Eagles got an early lead as Mark Sanchez scored with his legs and his arm hitting Jordan Matthews on a 27 yard pass after a two yard scramble on the first series of the game. The Eagles would hold the Cowboys at arm’s length the rest of the way, Cody Parkey kicking four field goals and LeSean McCoy rushing for 159 yards. The Eagles in first place with a record of 9-3 would suffer a major let down in their next two games, as Mark Sanchez was held to 96 yards in a 24-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. A week later they faced the Cowboys again, this time on Sunday Night Football and came out flat muffing the opening kickoff. The Cowboys took advantage and scored right away. The Eagles would be mistake prone all night, losing 38-27 as all hopes of a second straight division title began to fade. With the playoffs also in jeopardy the December blues continued for the Eagles as they suffered an inexcusable 27-24 loss to the Redskins who came into the game with a record of 3-11. Finishing the season with the playoffs out of reach in the Meadowlands the Eagles would beat the Giants 34-26 to finish with a 10-6 record.

2015

Given more power and acting as a defacto General Manager Chip Kelly continued to make radical changes to the Philadelphia Eagles roster. The Eagles traded 2013 rushing champion LeSean McCoy to the Buffalo Bills for Linebacker Kiko Alonso. To replace McCoy, the Eagles signed 2014 leading rusher DeMarco Murray to a five-year deal worth $42 million. In a rare deal of quarterbacks, the Eagles sent Nick Foles to the St. Louis Rams in exchange for Sam Bradford, while leading receiver Jeremy Maclin went to join Andy Reid with the Kansas City Chiefs. To say the deals did not workout would be an understatement. Murray was a miserable failure from the stat, averaging just 3.6 yards per carry and finishing the season with 702 yards, more than a 1,000 less than he rushed for with the Dallas Cowboys in the previous season. Bradord was plagued all year with turnovers, while Alonso struggled all season with an injury suffered in Week 2 as the Eagles lost their first two games against the Atlanta Falcons 26-24 and Dallas Cowboys 20-10. One player Philadelphia fans fell in love with early in the season was Jordan Hicks, who in the home opener against Dallas delivered a vicious hit on QB Tony Romo, which resulted in a broken collarbone. As Pope Francis held a mass at Lincoln Financial Field. Eagles fans had their prayers answered with a 24-17 win over the New York Jets up the Turnpike at the Meadowlands. The Eagles were sparked by Darren Sproles, whose 89-yard punt return sparked a 21-point second quarter eruption. A week later, the Eagles would be stunned by the Washington Redskins 23-20 as Pierre Garcon scored the game winning touchdown with 26 seconds left. Returning home, the Eagles finally got their running game going as DeMarco Murray, Ryan Matthews and Darren Sproles combined to rush for 183 yards as the Eagles beat the New Orleans Saints 39-17. A week later on Monday Night Football the Eagles continued to dominate the New York Giants, delivering a 27-7 win at the Linc, as Nolan Carroll’s pick six turned the game in their favor. Following a 27-16 loss to the Carolina Panthers and a bye week, the Eagles scored a dramatic overtime win in Dallas, winning the Sunday Night showdown 33-27 on a 41-yard pass from Sam Bradford to Jordan Matthews. Early in the game Jordan Hicks delivered more pain to the Cowboys returning a Matt Cassel interception 67 yards for touchdown. However, Hicks would later leave the game and miss the remainder of the season with a torn pectoral muscle. Returning home, the Eagles would suffer another letdown, as the lost to the Miami Dolphins 20-19 blowing an early 16-3 advantage. The game unraveled when Sam Bradford suffered a concussion as backup Mark Sanchez struggled, throwing a costly interception in the endzone late in the fourth quarter. Sanchez would get the start a week later and threw three interceptions as the Eagles were humiliated by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 45-17 as boos rained down over Lincoln Financial Field. Fans watching four days later got more indigestion as the Eagles were basted by the Detroit Lions 45-14 on Thanksgiving. With their season slipping away, the Eagles got a surprising win in Foxboro, beating the 10-1 New England Patriots 35-28. After falling behind in the second quarter 14-0 the Eagles used the big play to score the next 35 points as Najee Gordon blocked a punt and returned it 24 yards to tie the game before the half. In the third quarter Malcolm Jenkins returned a Tom Brady interception 100-yards, while Darren Sproles ran back a punt 83 yards to give the Eagles the lead. Returning home to face the Buffalo Bills, LeSean McCoy got a warm welcome as he kissed the Eagles logo before rushing for 74 yards. It was not enough as the Eagles won the game 23-20 on a Field Goal by Caleb Sturgis. However, the Eagles would be embarrassed in primetime at home the next two weeks, losing 40-17 to the Arizona Cardinals and 38-24 to the Redskins. Following the loss to the Redskins, Coach Chip Kelly was fired after refusing to give up personnel duties. Pat Shurmur would lead the team into the final game of the season, and scored 35-30 win over the Giants to finish the season at 7-9.

2016

It was new beginning for the Philadelphia Eagles under new Coach Doug Pedersen as they traded up in the draft to pick North Dakota State Quarterback Carson Wentz with the second overall pick. In his first game Wentz was solid, passing for 278 yards with a pair of touchdowns as the Eagles slammed the Cleveland Browns 29-10 at Lincoln Financial Field. A week later on Monday Night Football, Carson Wentz did just enough to guide the Eagles to a 29-14 win over the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Returning home, the Eagles won the battle of Pennsylvania in convincing fashion, beating the Pittsburgh Steelers 34-3 as Carson Wentz passed for 301 yards. The Eagles has their bye week early, when they came back they suffered their first loss, as Wentz threw his first career interception in the late stages of a 24-23 loss to the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. The Eagles young quarterback would suffer some growing pains in his rookie season as he struggled in his first NFC East divisional matchup as the Eagles suffered 27-20 loss to the Washington Redskins. Wentz continued to struggle in Week 7 against the Minnesota Vikings, but thanks in part to a 98-yard kickoff return by Josh Huff the Eagles managed to win the game 21-10. Playing on Sunday Night the Eagles traveled to AT&T Stadium for a showdown with the Dallas Cowboys. Things looked good for the Eagles most of the night, however, they let a ten-point lead slip away in the fourth quarter as the Cowboys won in overtime 29-23. The Eagles, struggled in the division continued the following week as they suffered a 28-23 loss to the New York Giants at the Meadowlands. The Eagles kept their playoff hopes alive, despite their division struggles beating the Atlanta Falcons 24-15 in Week 10 as Ryan Matthews rushed for 108 yards with two touchdowns. However, over the next month the Eagles playoffs hopes would wither and die as they lost their next five games, starting with a 26-15 loss on the road to the Seattle Seahawks. Following losses to the Green Bay Packers and Cincinnati Bengals, the Eagles dropped to 0-4 in divisional play with a 27-22 loss to the Redskins, as a back and forth battle was decided on a 25-yard run by Chris Thompson. Against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 15, the Eagles boldly went for the win. After trailing 27-17 late in the fourth quarter, the Eagles got a field goal and a touchdown in the last 2

2017

After showing some positives signs early and fading late the previous season, the Philadelphia Eagles looked to take a step forward as quarterback Carson Wentz and Coach Doug Pederson each entered their second season. Opening the season on the road, the Eagles beat the Washington Redskins 30-17. Wentz had a solid game, passing for 307 yards with two touchdowns, while Fletcher Cox sealed the win scooping up and returning a fumble 20 yards for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter. The Eagles would suffer their first loss a week later, as they were beaten by Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs 27-20 in a hard-fought game at Arrowhead Stadium. Hosting the New York Giants in their home opener, the Eagles had shut down the Giants offense for three quarters and held a 14-0 lead as the fourth quarter began. The Giants came alive in the fourth and scored three quick touchdowns to take the lead. The Eagles would answer with a 15-yard run from Corey Clement to tie the game. The Giants went back in front with a field goal, which was matched by Jake Elliott with 51 seconds left. The Eagles would get the ball back with 13 seconds

2017 NFL Playoffs

Despite holding a record of 13-3 and having home field in the playoffs, nobody seemed to believe in the Philadelphia Eagles with backup quarterback Nick Foles. Foles who had some early success with the Eagles had considered quitting football after struggling with the then St. Louis Rams in 2015. After a season as a backup with Andy Reid’s Kansas City Chiefs, he returned to Philadelphia as a backup to Carson Wentz. The Eagles were underdogs in the Divisional Round against the Atlanta Falcons, the reigning NFC Champions. The Eagles seemed to relish the role of underdog, with several players wearing dog masks. The Eagles defense came out strong, but a mistake on special teams put them in an early hole as Bryan Barman blocking downfield inadvertently touched a punt, setting up the Falcons for an easy touchdown in the second quarter. The Eagles had taken the lead earlier in the quarter as LeGarrette Blount scored a one-yard run, completing a long 86-yard drive. Trailing 10-6, the Eagles made things closer at the end of the first half as Jake Elliott who earlier missed an extra point nailed a 53-yard field goal. Defense was the name of the game the rest of the way as the Eagles smothered the Falcons high flying attack the rest of the way, with three big sacks. Elliott meanwhile had two field goals to give Philadelphia a 15-10 lead. The Falcons would get one chance to score in the final two minutes, with first down and goal at the Eagles nine-yard line. After two incomplete passes, the Matt Ryan complete a seven-yard pass to Julio Jones to get the ball down to the two. On fourth down with 1

Super Bowl LII

After beating the Vikings in the NFC Championship, the Philadelphia Eagles had the task of facing the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII in the Twin Cities. The Patriots seeking their sixth Lombardi Trophy and second straight we the favorites, setting up the Eagles to be underdogs once again. The Eagles got the ball first and got a Jake Eliott field goal to open the scoring. The Patriots also had a nice drive on their first possession ended in a field goal. Getting the ball back the Eagles quickly moved down the field and found the end zone as Nick Foles connected with Alshon Jeffrey on a 34-yard pass. However, only held a 9-3 lead as Elliott missed the extra point. The Patriots looked to answer but again had to settle for a field goal attempt, however, the snap was botched, giving Philadelphia a chance to take control of the game, but failed to move the ball resulting in the game’s only punt. The Patriots appeared to be on the verge of taking the lead but had their drive stall when a trick pass play from Danny Amendola to Tom Brady fell incomplete. The Eagles would get the ball back and took a 15-3 lead, as LeGarrette Blount tormented his old team with an 11-yard touchdown run. After a Patriots field goal, the Eagles had a chance to add to their lead, but Nick Foles made his only mistake of the game with an interception near the goal line. The Patriots with new life drove down the field and scored their first touchdown of the game, but missed the extra point making the score 15-12. The Eagles would answer with a dramatic touchdown on fourth and goal as Nick Foles caught a pass from Trey Burton on what was called the Philly Special the drive which had been kick-started the drive with a 55-yard run from Corey Clement gave the Eagles a 22-12 halftime lead. From there it was as a showcase of NFL passing excellence as both Tom Brady and Nick Foles set new standards for yards gained in the big game. The Patriots quickly went down the field to start the third quarter, only for Philadelphia to answer on a 22-yard pass to Clement. The Patriots would answer cutting the Eagles lead again to three points. After a Jake Elliott field goal opened the scoring in the fourth quarter, the Patriots took their first lead of the game on a four-yard catch by Rob Gronkowski. Balancing taking the lead and giving Tom Brady too much time to answer, the Eagles orchestrated a perfect drive, going 75 yards in 7
